Boundary Ambiguity and Borderline Personality Traits: Implications for Treatment for Adolescent Girls in Foster Care

This article explores the relationship between boundary ambiguity and borderline personality traits in adolescent girls in foster care. Boundary ambiguity is a family systems concept: family members are uncertain about who is in or out of the family—in either psychological or physical presence or absence. In foster care, it can be assumed that an adolescent girl has experienced trauma significant enough to be removed from her family. The connection between early childhood trauma and attachment disruption in addition to the connection between insecure/disorganized attachment and borderline personality disorder leads to the conclusion that these same adolescents are at high risk for developing borderline personality traits. The sample consists of 40 caseworkers from New England’s child protection departments and therapists from residential programs working with adolescent girls. They completed the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure for Adolescents to determine the presence of personality disruption as well as a variation of Pauline Boss’s Boundary Ambiguity Scale #1, and demographic questionnaires. The results find a significant correlation between boundary ambiguity and borderline personality traits. These findings provide directions for future research in clinical treatment and child welfare policy making.     

安福话高调词语的语法特点

安福话有一部分词语带有高调,高调不是一个独立的调类。带有高调的实词性词语一般是名词性词语,只有少数带后缀"-叽"的词语是非名词性词语。读作高调的虚词有结构助词"咯"和语气助词"嘚"、"嚯"、"噷"等。     

汉语歧义句的句法理解策略

[摘 要]选取了汉语中常见的偏正和述宾两种能引起歧义的句型,以反应时和正确率作为因变量探讨在这两种句型中句子理解的策略。采用VB编程语言,对所选句子用移动视窗的方法进行呈现。实验结果表明：1在这两种句子中,被试的阅读时间和正确率均没有差异;2在这两种结构句子中,歧义词和解歧词反应时上均有显著差异;3在两种句型中两个歧义词之间的反应时差异非常显著; 4偏正结构和述宾结构的句子在不同位置上的解岐词的反应时差异显著;5 性别因素的主效应不显著,并且和句型之间也不存在交互作用。以上的实验结果证明人们在阅读刚开始时就已经建立起句法结构,并且对句子的理解是整合的结果,但是对歧义部分的阅读却是即时的。     

Inventory Policy with Parametric Demand: Operational Statistics,Linear Correction,and Regression

In this paper, we consider data‐driven approaches to the problem of inventory control. We first consider the approach of operational statistics and review related results which enable us to maximize a priori expected profit uniformly over all parameter values, when the demand distribution is known up to the location and scale parameters. For the case of the unknown shape parameter, we first suggest a heuristic approach based on operational statistics to obtain improved ordering policies and illustrate the same for the case of a Pareto demand distribution. In more general cases where the heuristic is not applicable, we suggest linear correction and support vector regression approaches to better estimate ordering policies, and illustrate these using a Gamma demand distribution. In certain cases, our proposed approaches are found to yield significant improvements.     

试析《骆驼祥子》中形容词重叠式的语法功能

现代汉语语法功能包括组合功能和充当句子成分的能力两个方面。研究发现,《骆驼祥子》中的形容词重叠式有一些特殊的组合功能：与程度副词同现、与否定词同现、与助词“着”和“了’’同现。与现代汉语形容词重叠式相比,《骆驼祥子》中形容词重叠式的组合功能更强,充当句法成分也更为自由。     

文本语境与复义

"文本语境"的内涵除了"上下文"之外,还曾被瑞恰兹和巴赫金分别加以语义层面和话语层面的拓展,形成了另外两种更具广阔内涵的文本语境。三种文本语境都具有复义功能,为文学文本创造并保留复义。上下文的文本语境通过语词之间的语义交感,在语词的概念意义之外重组出新的整体意义,构成文学文本的基本意义;语义层面深邃而广阔的文本语境,以引入新信息的方式为解读意义提供更多可能,使文本意义呈现出复杂的复义状态;话语层面的文本语境,由语境和话语的多重性实现复义的创造,使某一话语在周围各种话语所构成的不同语境的折射中呈现不同的意义。     

论陈先发的诗歌修辞

独特的修辞更能成就个性化的诗人。近些年来,陈先发在诗歌创作上的修辞探索引起人们的关注：借故翻新的互文性写作,古诗意象的唤醒和现代灵魂的注入,使诗歌表现出对生存与写作的多重焦虑;人与物的通灵及轮回意识增强了诗的魔幻色彩,产生了第三者观察视角和意象指向不确定等美学效应。设置非象征与象征的迷宫,通过自然隐晦揭示生死意识;感觉的具象化与自然的典故化,使诗歌形象灵动;复杂的简单与意义的含混使诗歌语言节奏自然,语义多重可解,蕴藉深厚。     

创新与语法

一门语法,是对语言这个意义潜势系统进行多层次、多功能的描摹,为讨论人类在语言方面的无尽创造力提供了一个有效而实用的框架。语言的创新性源于生成意义的资源,该资源在各个语言层面运作。无论是语言艺术、语言游戏抑或修辞手段,语法都不可能对语言的创造性进行全面预测。正如对诗人Edwin Thumboo的《一个诗人在朗诵》一诗作出的语言学解读所示,一首诗歌的意义,是由它所有可能的解读来界定,这种解读可以来自作诗的诗人,也可以来自读者。《一个诗人在朗诵》既展示了语言的创造性,也喻示了我们将经验转换为意义的无限创造力的神圣①。     

英语语法教学中显性意义的基础性地位

近年来,在英语语法教学中,语法形式在不同语境中的隐性意义被高度关注,这弥补了以往语法教学只注重形式和其显性意义的不足。但隐性意义的推理和理解离不开显性意义的掌握,因为隐性意义的获得,依赖于显性意义和语境的结合。简要介绍语法形式显性意义和隐性意义的概念,并通过隐性意义推理过程中基本因素的分析,揭示显性意义的基础性地位,强...     

中国文学现代性的空间体验——兼与李欧梵先生商榷

李欧梵先生挖掘中国文学现代性的颓废面向意义重大,但他认为此种现代性的被压抑源于西方启蒙思想的影响,进而提出西方启蒙思想对中国影响最大的是时间观念的论断,这是值得商榷的。启蒙思想对中国时间观念的影响,并非如李先生所言如此巨大。从中国现代性的发生,利玛窦的地图开始部分瓦解中国天朝中心观念,到中国文学世界由于发现另一空间,由之更重视自身的空间体验,都可看出对现代性的空间的重视。
